Pastoral Counseling is an ICM course designed for any pastor, church leader, or minister desiring Christian Counseling training from a pastoral viewpoint.

The series will focus on many different aspects of Christian Counseling from a pastoral viewpoint. As pastors, church leaders or ministers we counsel from a different perspective.

Christian Counseling always comes from the perspective of being Christ-centered. Pastoral counseling is also Christ-centered but also takes into account the authority of the church and the continual spiritual and physical well-being the person being counseled.

Topics that are to be covered are conflict resolution, divorce, crisis counseling, abuse recovery, addictions, family issues and more. The purpose of this course is to train you to be able to better serve those that you are counseling.

Credit Hours: 3hrs

This new course by ICM will focus on ministering to the needs of church leaders. Pastors and church leaders are targeted by many schemes of the devil. Pastors and leaders get criticized, abandoned and talked about. It can be a very lonely place being a leader of the church. To minster to a leader takes a different set of counseling skills than the typical counseling session.

Many pastors seem to have no here to go for help and no one to turn to. If the Pastor is wounded he can hurt his entire congregation. The devil does everything in his power to illegitimize and discredit pastors and leaders.

Dr. Joe Warner is the Pastor of Freedom Fellowship Church. He has been ministering to church leaders from around the US and other nations sold over 25 years.

Dr. Ray Self has a doctorate in Christian Psychology and has trained and counseling in the Christian arena for 17 years.

This is an informative and exciting course on how to minister effectively to the leaders of churches.

This six-lesson series is an International College of Ministry course designed for any minister or layperson wanting to know how to help bring healing to the victims of PTSD.

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, war/combat, rape, or other violent personal assault.

PTSD has been known by many names in the past, such as “shell shock” during the years of World War I and “combat fatigue” after World War II. PTSD affects approximately 3.5 percent of U.S. adults, and an estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed PTSD in their lifetime. Women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD.

Treatment for PTSD varies but in this study we will be concentrating on the final solution which is Jesus and the healing power of the Holy Spirit. Any traumatic event can open a door to demonic oppression to which the answer can only be found through the authority of the name of Jesus Christ.

Credit Hours: 3hrs

We know about the infamous sex offenders, politicians and Hollywood celebrities in trouble, the sex slave trade in other countries but that’s not where we live. Is it? A 2014 survey by the Barna Group revealed that 64% of self-identified Christian men and 15% of self-identified Christian women view pornography at least once per month (compared to 65% of non-Christian men and 30% of non-Christian women). Sounds like an epidemic both in and outside of the church!

The bible is clear about the God designed relationship between man and woman. Genesis 2:18-25. And what it’s not intended to be. Romans 1:26-27. We’ll look at the biblical commands and principles, applying them to sexual addiction. Discover the origins of the “sexual revolution” which actually lead our world into sexual anarchy. Learn useful tools that help identify if someone has a sexual addiction and the nature of its origin. Gain the resources needed to help them in their recovery, restoration, and ultimately foster their deliverance. This six-week series promises to be useful for counselors as well as anyone who may know someone with a sexual addiction. Come join in and invite your friends.

Counseling Sexual Addiction by James Drake is an in-depth study of sexual addiction for the Christian Counselor. This timely course will be fascinating because of the depth of information presented on a topic that’s rarely discussed from the pulpit. The student will study key issues and answers from a Holy Spirit directed viewpoint. This is an important course for all counseling majors and for personal enrichment or healing.
